v IMPROVEMENT IN GLOVES.

Specification forming part of ,Letters PatentNo. 129,934, dated July 30, 1872.

Specification describing a new and useful Improvement in Gloves, invented by SOLOMON J. GLUTE and DANIEL M. DUEFEE, of Rockwood, in the county of Fulton and State of New York.

' In theaccompanying drawing, Figures 1, 2,

` 3, and 4 are diagrams showing the several pieces used for the hand and 'linger coverings of the glove. Fig. 5 is a top view ofthe glove, and Fig. 6 a section through one of the fingers.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Tl1egloves upon which ours is an improve ment are mainly formed of a palm-piece and two fourchettes;` the former being cut so as to lap and constitute the back of the first and `facturer, with proportional increaseI in cost of the glove to the purchaser. To avoid this is mainly the object of our invention, whichwe will now-proceed to describe.

A in the drawing represents the palm-piece of a glove, which has the finger projections a cl and c e. The fourchettes, which, in conjunction with the part 'e' of the palm-piece, form `the back'of the glove and part of the side portion of the fingers, are marked B C D, and the outline and arrangement of each in the completed glove are fully shown in Figs. 2 to 5, inclusive, so that particular verbal description thereof is unnecessary.

.By this method of cutting out gloves the palm-piece is made of such form and size, and so much of the glove is taken up by the three fourchettes, that a skin which is defective in many parts or places may be utilized, where it could not be under the old practice or by use of the ordinary patterns, it being always difficult to cut palm-pieces in suicient number to use up the skins. This economic result is attained without anymaterial offset by increased cost on account of the slight difference in labor in sewing or making up the glove, labor being always a small item of expense as compared with the stock or material used. Thus the manufacturer is enabled to furnish for a less price a glove fully equal to the ordinary varietyin respect to appearance and durability. y

What we claim is- A glove formed of a palm-piece, A, provided with the finger projections a b d e e and the three fourchettes B C D, arranged as and having the form shown and described.
